Haven't played Metroid Prime 4 -- but I have seen the negativity over the companions (federation troopers).
I get the concern. But Metroid brilliance is the sum of all parts; so much cool stuff opens up.
So I'm optimistic how polished & true most of the gameplay looks so far.

With the languishing state of Destiny 2, I completely forgot it probably currently has the coolest limited-time Halloween event skins its ever had (player-voted collection).
Of course, that'll cost you 10-15 hours of playtime and vault management probably...unless you want to spend $45 on all 3.

Checked out the new co-op roguelite Out of Time with @Ms5000Watts. Easy to get into and vibe with up to four players. Also has matchmaking quickplay.
You immediately start to progress, earn abilities and gear sets, with a lot of build variety. #Sponsored

Gotta give Remedy props for not sweeping FBC: Firebreak under the rug. The multiplayer Control spin-off gets its first major update.
Perhaps more important than the new level or guns, Remedy is responding to much of the constructive criticism from launch.
Tutorial level. Revamps to core gameplay.

Saros is heading to PlayStation 5 with Pro enhancements on March 20, 2026.
"...add more depth to our gameplay by adding a wider variety of tools." Housemarque (previously, Returnal).
If you love brain-melting particles and intense third-person shooters, it's looking dope.

This will happen in the future when Roger, takes him to the mall arcade that makes “disgusting” pizza, a “bad situation.”
Roger: “but they have ramen so we should try that.”
Tim: “…ok.”

I've no skin in Destiny 2's latest raid and endgame race. There's no true "wrong way. I just dislike how much raids have become a marketing event. More people watch the race than play. But does that explosive "week 1 race" really do much at this point?

Ghost of Yotei previewed a tsunami's worth of uncut gameplay ahead of its October 2, 2025 release. While trailers have their place -- love when games just show us how they play.
Looking fantastic. Sign me up. (And bring back the Legends multiplayer mode.)

Xbox cancelling Perfect Dark amid mass layoffs… Man. I get all the ever-changing video game business problems.
But the industry feels so broken. Too many games backed by tons of talent — that should be easy wins never seeing the light of day.
